70) The angle of inclination
of the remnant magnetization measured on a basalt flow at a location
P (28o N 850 E) is 40o. The
palaeomagnetic latitude of the Basalt flow is________________ o
N
(Thanks Anand AU)
Sol) The relation between
inclination and latitude is
\tan i=2 tan \phi
Inclination (i) =40o
2tan \phi=\tan40^o=0.839
\tan\phi=\frac{0.839}{2}
\tan\phi=0.4195
\phi=\tan^{-1}(0.4195)
latitude \phi=22.7^o N.
